“Wabash Blues” by Hobart Smith from In Sacred Trust: The 1963 FLeming Brown Tapes.Click on the link to preview or purchase the song on the Folkways website. Note: I have done my best to transcribe the performance accurately, but of course I am sure there are errors! Click here for the pdf version of the transcription.
I would really like to learn this tune, do you happen to have a tab available written in the typical banjo tab fashion vita string+fret?
thanks!
Hello Chris — Thanks for your comment! David has done tabs for most of the songs he has transcribed, but not for this one… I think he is likely working on it, though, and will check on that!

Would indeed be much appreciated if it was completed. Otherwise a shorter tab is included in the booklet to the Folkways CD ‘In Sacred Trust’ , the Tuning reads from the 5th string: E/AACD. Bass string is tuned down.
The tab is found next to ‘John Greer’s Two-Step’. (handwritten by Fleming Brown I think).
